10 Hearty Salads

December  3, 2013

Go on, call us "salad gluttons" -- as salad naysayer Jeffrey Steingarten describes people who eat salad more than twice a week in the winter. Actually, we think your salads can be both warming and filling. Why such a stigma around salads as the focal point of your meal? Add a big heap of grains, along with your favorite nuts and cheeses and you have yourself a meal in its entirety. In fact, you can surivive all winter long on these 10 salad recipes.
